Stéphane Mallarmé

"Nopanheitto ei koskaan tuhoa Sattumaa" on modernin runouden ja typografian merkittävimpiä teoksia. Nyt se julkaistaan suomenkielisenä ensimmäisen kerran Stéphane Mallarmén hahmottelemana isokokoisena teoksena. Myös kirjan typografia on Mallarmélta hänen kuolemansa johdosta kesken jääneen kirjasuunnitelman mukainen. Akuperäinen ranskankielinen teksti julkaistaan Helena Sinervon suomentaman runon taustalla.

Dans Divagations, St phane Mallarm ouvre un espace d'exp rimentation unique, o la po sie dialogue avec la prose et l'essai pour inventer une esth tique radicalement moderne. Oeuvre charni re de la litt rature fran aise de la fin du XIXe si cle, ce recueil rassemble m ditations, r flexions, critiques et fragments blouissants, offrant un acc s direct l'imaginaire symboliste. Mallarm ne cesse de sonder les pouvoirs du langage, cherchant d voiler la force suggestive du mot, l'autonomie du po tique, l' nigme de la cr ation litt raire.

The oxymoronic notion of poems in prose was popularized in France by Charles Baudelaire and subsequently mined by countless authors and many movements, from Rimbaud to Ren e Vivien, from the Parnassians to the Decadents. Collecting together one hundred seventy different pieces from sixty-one authors, Poems in Prose: A Showcase Anthology, is the most broad-ranging anthology of its kind. Surveying prose poetry from its precursors, through the Third Republic, and up until the beginning of the twentieth century, the volume brings together texts from well-known exponents such as St phane Mallarm and Marcel Schwob, as well as numerous lesser-known authors. A large portion of the texts, including items by Jean Lorrain, Augusta Holm s, and Hugues Rebell, appear in English for the first time. The volume, one of a handful that editor and translator Brian Stableford left behind, provides an in-depth introductory essay, as well as brief biographies of the various personalities presented.

Previously only available in hardcover, and after a long period of being unavailable, one of Wave's most popular titles, A Roll of the Dice by Stéphane Mallarmé, is now available in paperback. Through brilliant collaboration, Robert Bononno and book designer Jeff Clark translated one of Mallarmé’s most well-known and visually complex poems into contemporary English language and design. This bilingual softcover edition not only includes Mallarmé's original preface, but also matches the typography of the last round of proofs that Mallarmé was correcting at the time of his death. Clark's presentation is both visually stunning and typographically radical, mirroring the dark mystery of Mallarmé’s poem. With a keen understanding of poetics, Bononno’s translation offers myriad interpretations, while capturing the visionary spirit of the original. Together, Clark and Bononno have created a singular version of A Roll of the Dice that is markedly unique in its attention to the ways layout, design, typeface, and language all contribute to the meaning making of this masterpiece.
